Things that make you go: mmmmnnnn

Dean might receive the ‘two degrees from Obama’ post like they tried to get the Gov to accept.

The Kennedys put Gov Paterson is a very compromising situation and this was not the time to pull such a move. Clearly, they forgot that this was HRC’s state. And that many here were bitterly disappointed in the outcome of the election. Apparently, they were smug enough to think that just because NY went for 0bama that all was forgotten. Duh, NY is a BIG BLUE state. There was no way any Democratic candidate was going to lose the state, especially after Bush.

Of course, most New Yorkers reconciled their disappointment and voted 0bama. Add to that the large AA population, youth and latino voters. But Hillary’s core constituency was disappointed. And Caroline making the push for Hillary’s seat only conjured up those bitter feelings.

But since the msm has decided to rewrite history and pretend that there are no strong anti-0bama feelings remaining from the Primary and that a lot of people, like me, held this against Caroline, they’ve decided to make David Paterson the scapegoat and take it all out on him.

Could it be that they are paving the road for a Giuliania landslide. Get rid of the ‘incompetant’ black governor who had the unmitigated audacity to embarrass and humiliate a Kennedy. And Caroline, at that. Poor little rich Caroline, the only remaining heir to the original Camelot family which was beset with such tragedy.

I am so over the Kennedys I can’t tell you. Ted and his pal John Kerry took care of that with their ringing endorsement of 0bama a year ago.

But really, how incompetant was Caroline in this whole thing? I watched a replay of her fielding a question after her lunch with Al Sharpton and it was embarrassing. All the reporter asked was why did she suddenly want to take a stab at politics. And Caroline couldn’t answer that simple question. She giggled and smiled, held her head down like a shy teenager. I mean, really!

Did she think she would not be asked? Was she under the delusion that Senators should not be prepared with statements and answers to the press?

Clearly, she thought she could ‘Kennedy’ her way through this process. For years, she has walked passed the press, with her stoic silence and pursed lips and since she was a private citizen and the daughter and sister of JFK, Sr, and John-John the press respectfully let her slide. As well they should have.

But wanting to fill HRC’s Senate seat was a whole new ballgame. And for Caroline, who is supposed to be intelligent, educated and politically connected, not to know this, really demonstrates how unqualified she was for the job.

So how can this be Gov Paterson’s fault?

It’s not. But the msm, and the outraged politicians will now shift the onus onto him, by claiming he made the mess of the process. That he was sloppy.

Again, what was he supposed to do with the monkey wrench that Ted Kennedy, and Barack 0bama threw at him in the person of Caroline Kennedy who was clearly pursuing the seat on a lark?

It was the dialliance of a spoiled rich girl and when it became too hard, to uncomfortable, she wanted to run back to her cocoon. Caroline did not think the whole thing out. She fantasized that us voters here in NY would just flip with glee to have her.

To me, the lesson is that it’s time for the msm and the political elite to stop living in denial about the vestigial feelings of anger, bitterness and resentment over the way 0bama was rammed down our throats. They are courting danger if they continue to insist that we all drank the kool-aid and are raptureously in love with this new President.

We all are not.

And it’s not just a few of us.

And if they persist in ignoring this reality, they are going to keep getting into jams like this Caroline fiasco.

I wrote the Gov and told him if he picked her, I would not vote for him. I’m sure a lot of New Yorkers did likewise. Paterson was in a ‘damned if he does, damned if doesn’t’ mess. And we are going to see this play out from here.

So even though his final choice was not mine, and personally I don’t understand why he chose this upstate Democratic conservative, I respect that he marched to his own drummer with the attitude of: ‘if I’m going down, I’m going down swinging. I’m going to be my own man.’

Considering all that he’s up against with the msm still enthralled with their 0bama love fest, I salute him.

And screw rich Caroline Kennedy who apparently doesn’t pay her taxes and probably has employed illegal aliens and her lover boy at the NY Times. She has made a mockery of the legacy her parents left her and he has made a mockery of freedom of the press. I’m counting the days for the NY Times to die.

Thank goodness SOMETHING finally worked in the Clintons favor. CK angered Hillary supporters as well as Billary supporters. If CK’s endorsement of BO and subsequent decision to “take” Hillary’s and Uncle Bobby’s Senate seat was a strategy, it backfired big time and rightfully so.

I think a good case can be made that CK is more than qualified – a law degree, written several impressive books, has been a high dollar fundraiser for some good causes, and comes from a family with politics in its genes whose daily breakfast, lunch and dinner no doubt included high-minded political conversations.

Her problem is obviously she is not a speaker and she never dreamed that would matter. Like her mother she has smiled her way through 50 years of an adoring public.

As an advocate for women, I was horrendously offended that CK would use her immense political capital to endorse a dark horse candidate for the flimsy reasons she gave in her sing-songy, dispassionate, too soft, monotone, non-speaker voice.

The most offensive part was the fact this endorsement was a stunning rebuke of the highly qualified, brilliant candidate who happened to be a woman. Then when Ted Kennedy added his endorsement and spoke about passing the Kennedy torch to BO, it wasn’t the end of the world. But you could see it from that point. CK’s support and continual campaign appearances on behalf of Obama was a blow to Hillary’s campaign.

It is something I can never get over or forgive CK for doing. That is why I could never support her and NOT that she isn’t qualified.

my point is he better enjoy this show now because people are already tired of this crap. we want to get on with our lives and get america going. we don’t want mean rappers or racism on the media 24/7. screw them. i want to get on with living. if obama can’t measure up there, his arse is out the door in 4. back to chicago to be the first aa ex president.
